For the first time in its 135 year history, Harrisons, a leading UK manufacturer of nonwoven wipes, has launched a set of fully in-house manufactured wet wipes.
The expanded offering bolsters Harrisons’ support for key sectors of the economy, including foodservice, janitorial, facilities management, industrial, aerospace, automotive, and printing.
The new products, each of which is available in a variety of formats, include:
• Surface Disinfectant Wipes that disinfect hard surfaces easily. They are highly effective against bacteria and viruses and fragrance-free.
• Probe Wipes that deliver quick, effective disinfection of temperature probes and small food-contact utensils. Food-safe, they are being made available with 70% Alcohol or as Alcohol & Quat Free.
• Hand Sanitising Wipes that provide quick, convenient hand hygiene in busy environments. Highly effective against viruses and bacteria and dermatologically tested for skin-friendliness, a plastic-free version of the wipes is available.
• Hand & Tool Wipes that tackle oils, grease, paint, adhesives, and grime, making on-the-spot cleaning simple without the need for water or harsh chemicals. Enriched with Aloe vera, they clean effectively while caring for skin, and are available with both smooth and dual-textured material.
All Harrisons wet wipes are manufactured in Britain, rigorously tested in-house, and independently audited to multiple relevant EN standards in a UKAS accredited laboratory to ensure consistent, compliant performance across applications.
Commenting on the launch, Managing Director Stephen Harrison said: “Having invested in improving our manufacturing capabilities in the past year, we are confident that our wet wipes will provide our customers with the same high levels of quality that they expect from Harrisons – alongside the customer service and expertise that come with our products.
The launch follows Harrisons’ acquisition of the business and assets of Ecotech (Europe) Ltd last year, which added full wet wipe manufacturing capability to the business and expanded overall production output. Across its two UK facilities, Harrisons now has a total wipe manufacturing capacity exceeding 100 million m² per year.
The new product launch will also be supported by Harrisons’ recent logistics upgrade, whereby the business now has access to 8,000 pallet spaces in a
BREEAM-certified sustainable warehouse. This has bolstered Harrisons’ guarantee to distributors of 12 weeks of stock availability.
